Epiphany V: Disturbance on Solomon’s Porch

On a stone porch, a Black man in saffron robes sits beside an older white man with a beard, who holds a leafless branch.

At Solomon’s Porch, an unexpected bloom appears on a leafless branch — the restoration of one long crippled. How can this be? And how can such a fragile miracle be protected without being silenced?

Epiphany III: At Solomon’s Porch

Shaded stone porch with columns forming a public walkway.

At Solomon’s Porch, what many had long waited and hoped for is revealed in public: Christ, the Bride belonging to the Bridegroom. Long crippled by male-centred worship and male grammar, this epiphany restores not only the Bride, but the Bridegroom — and all who bear witness, from the Forerunner onward.
